Being proactive about your home’s plumbing can pay off in the long run for the health of your home and its occupants. If you have aging pipes, it is important to understand the impact it can have on your property. Homeowners need to be aware of their home’s old and deteriorating pipes as the installed tubing naturally corrodes, rusts, and decays. Leaks can occur which leads to water damage and possibly raw sewage seeping into homes resulting in thousands of dollars in damages. Supply pipes and drain lines have different lifespans depending on the type of material used. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) lasts between 25-40 years, copper between 70-80 years, and brass, galvanized steel, and cast iron between 80-100 years.

In a climate like Colorado, pipes can freeze and burst easily. Water expands as it freezes. This expansion places immense pressure on metal and plastic pipes, which in turn causes them to break. Pipes most at risk for this phenomenon include water supply pipes in unheated interior areas, pipes against exterior walls with little insulation and pipes exposed to severe cold. Simply Sewers is able to provide 24-hour plumbing repair to homeowners for frozen pipes issues.

In order to protect pipes from freezing before the onset of cold weather, experts recommend a few key strategies.

Preventing frozen pipes in your Littleton home involves leaving the heat on during cold weather, allowing faucets to drip, and ensuring proper insulation—preventative routine maintenance that helps avoid costly repairs.

Methods for thawing frozen pipes include applying heat using an electric heating pad wrapped around the pipe, applying heat until full water pressure is restored and running water through the pipe which will help melt ice trapped inside.

Leaking pipes are a leading cause of water damage in both Littleton home and commercial plumbing systems, often requiring urgent reliable solutions to prevent further damage. Figuring out the reason why pipes leak is sometimes not so straightforward.  Pipes begin to deteriorate and rust over a prolonged period of use.  Furthermore, the natural shifting of a house’s foundation causes joints in the house’s plumbing to loosen causing water leakage.

Also contributing to leaking pipes are temperature changes stemming from alternating between hot and cold water, for instance, when taking a shower.  The temperature change can cause some pipes to burst or crack.  Also, as water runs through pipes in the winter, crevices may be formed which could lead to leaks.  If water pressure coming through pipes is not regulated, the pipes may burst or crack causing water leakages.  Clogs may form in pipes due to a variety of reasons including grease getting trapped inside, hair, socks, etc.  When clogs form, sinks and toilets usually drain a lot slower than normal. If not taken care of appropriately, the house may suffer from plumbing joints that overflow and create water leakages.

Leaking pipes can also result from poor workmanship, whether from hiring an unqualified plumber or attempting a DIY repair. In many cases, joints aren’t secured properly, or the wrong materials are used, leading to ongoing leaks and potential water damage. That’s why it’s always best to rely on professional plumbing services. In some situations, Simply Sewers can resolve leaking pipe issues by using a hydraulic machine to pull a new pipe through the existing one. This method creates a more durable, long-lasting solution that is far more resistant to future leaks.

There are three common locations for faucet leaks. When a faucet drips from its spout even while the handle is turned off, it is obvious that the faucet is leaking. A small drip usually gets worse over time and adds to the water bill. The constant drip can also begin the stain the sink if it is not fixed. Other fixes include replacing the washers on the end of the faucet stem for compression faucets.

Another common spot for faucet leaks is around the base, which can be easy to overlook since water from everyday use often splashes in this area. To check for a leak, start by thoroughly drying any standing water around the sink. Then, turn the faucet on and watch closely for water seeping from the base—this will confirm whether a leak is present.

The third common location for faucet leaks is under the sink and the one that does the most damage to your home. This spot is particularly more difficult to diagnose because most people do not have a regular habit of checking the piping and tubing under their sink. This kind of leak can damage floors if left unrecognized. Simply Sewers, with its experience and knowledge of the area is able to provide homeowners with fast leaking faucet repair service.

Water heaters generally last between 10 and 15 years before needing a replacement. Picture stepping into the shower, expecting a warm, soothing stream, only to be met with an unexpected blast of freezing cold water. When this happens, it’s essential to troubleshoot the issue and determine whether it’s time to call a plumber.

To keep your water heater running efficiently, it should be serviced at least once a year, and any leaks should be addressed immediately. A trusted plumbing company like Simply Sewers can diagnose and repair water heater problems to ensure you always have reliable hot water when you need it.

Being a homeowner means that at some point you may deal with a number of issues related to plumbing, clogged drains, burst pipes, and sewer systems. As recommended by experts, in order to prevent major plumbing disasters or other expensive water damage homeowners are urged to have plumbing inspections performed annually. After an inspection is performed, the plumber will sit down and go through results with the homeowner. Regular inspections and sewer maintenance help deliver efficient plumbing performance, preventing costly repairs and ensuring that all systems-including tankless water heaters and other complex installations—function properly in your home.
